About Andrew

Andrew Sakhno, smiling, leaning on the back of a white sofa
Andrew Sakhno, Limassol.

I started out as a journalist and moved into PR: I was Head of PR at Piraeus Bank in Ukraine in 2010 and a PR director in multinational companies, working closely with top managers, product teams, HR and outside PR, advertising and SMM agencies.

I have lived in Cyprus for almost ten years. Here I have built brands for property developers, a medical centre and apart-hotels, ran PR and business development for the ad-tech company CAS.ai, and spent the 2025–26 season as PR & Event Manager at THE ROOMS in Limassol.

I’m easy-going, I like leading and motivating people, and I can get a conversation going with almost anyone. And if you were at the GDCy WN Party in Limassol in 2023, chances are you had a free beer I organised.

How I work

  1. The event isn’t over when the lights come up.

    I take an event from the concept and the budget to the night itself, and then to the communication after it.

  2. Know people before you need them.

    I have a network of trusted suppliers, venues and creative people across Cyprus, so I can put a strong team together quickly.

  3. Word of mouth beats reach.

    What I’m proudest of at CAS.ai: clients and partners started recommending the company to others.

  4. Talk to anyone.

    Bankers, game developers, influencers, the Head of the Bank of Greece: the work has put me at the table with all of them.
